        <strong>Behavior influences our thoughts </strong>
    </p>
    <p>
        Imagine sitting completely still in a room without doing anything. This is supposed to illustrate how behavior affects emotion. In this case, the behavior is to sit still, which probably makes you feel bored. In such a situation it is common that we will think of other things that are boring or negative. But if you were to read a book at the same time, you might not be as bored, even though very little has changed. Our thoughts follow our behavior.

        Getting approached by someone who is asking for money to buy food can give rise to thoughts about poverty and injustice. A visit to the museum can raise ideas about history and to see a relationship drama in the movies may provoke thoughts about your own family. Consider the example of giving a public speech. The first few times we do it, we will probably experience a lot of thoughts on what could go wrong. If, despite these thoughts, we give the speech and do this repeatedly, we will probably reconsider how challenging it is. As we gain experience from similar situations, the negative thoughts will be balanced by more positive thoughts.
